Posted in resources by Editor on February 25, 2010

Anna Battigelli, of Early Modern Online Bibliography, sends the following announcement:

Thanks to the generosity of Proquest, readers of EMOB will have free access to Early English Books Online from February 22 to March 12. We are hoping that this temporary access will generate discussion about EEBO, as it is used both in scholarship and the classroom.

According to the ProQuest website:

Early English Books Online contains digital facsimile page images of virtually every work printed in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and British North America and works in English printed elsewhere from 1473-1700 — from the first book printed in English by William Caxton, through the age of Spenser and Shakespeare and the tumult of the English Civil War.
